Does the pin that holds the rack to the hitch have a hole that could accommodate a lock?

Hi JH, You would need to purchase a SR0901 - SportRack Hitch Pin Bolt with lock (http://www.sportrack.com/p/hitch-pin-bolt-with-lock?pp=24)

No it has a 1/2 inch diameter bolt with washer and nut. There is a 1/8 inch hole at the end of the bolt for a cotter pin. You can purchase a locking pin at Lowes or Home Depot to replace the 1/2 inch bolt

You can buy a locking pin to replace the standard bolt-pin. Basically works likes a lug nut lock on a wheel. Think they cost about $20. I like the rack and have used it over a year. Great for price

A standard lock pin will work on the two is bar that slides into ur hitch but i dont think there is a locking pin long enough to lock the ball into the channel. The outside dimensions on that channel is 4 inches were ur standard locking pin is around 2.5

It comes with a bolt (that bolts the rack to your trailer hitch), so unless the person trying to steal it has two large wrenches you should be fine. I guess a better answer is, it does not come with a lock anywhere on the hitch.

Yeah, Yakima lock fits the threaded bolt. You don't have to buy the hitch pin bolt with the lock!

Im not sure if locking pins vary in size, my guess would be any locking pin should be ok. The pin fits the hitch first, so if it already fits your hitch it should be fine.

The rack has a system that locks it to the trailer hitch, however there are no locks that lock the bike to the rack.

The hitch comes with a steel hitch pin bolt and a cotter pin. If you want to lock the rack to the car hitch, I recommend this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/SportRack-Hitch-Pin-Bolt-with-Lock-Black/23578452

You can buy a Curt Manufacting 23575 trailer hitch lock. It's sold on Amazon.

I suppose it could if you can find a pin that will go through that is lockable. On my trip to Moab, UT we just bought a extra long cable and a set your own combination lock running it the cable through the 3 bikes wheels and back to tho the hitch where we used the safety chain loops to lock the the bikes to the the car. The only think I had a problem with is the pin/bolt that came with the carrier was too short, and the hole in the carrier was is 1/ inch and my hitch uses a 5/8th pin. We fixed this by hitting Lowe's and buying a 1/2' bold and nut. so if you go buy a locking pin for the hitch be sure it's long enough and only 1/2". As I said I also wanted to secure the bikes so the cable is my advice. I suppose it could if you can find a pin that will go through that is lockable.

You may be able to use a small lock instead of the pin for the bolt in the hitch. The only way you could lock the bikes would be to use a cable lock wrapped through them.

There isn't a locking mechanism with the rack. It's easy to use the usual bike cable lock looped through a bracket at the hitch, when leaving unattended. That's a secure fix for me.

Hello Debra:Yes, you will need a hitch pin to lock the bar into the receiver, which you should be able to find for under $5. I would go for a locking pin though, around $20, to prevent someone from making off with the rack and your bikes. In the US, Camping World will have pins. In Canada, go to Canadian Tire. I also have a locking cable to lock the bikes to the rack as well.Good luck,Rick

Not really but there are some products around that you can sort of rig to work that way. I use a long cable that goes around both frames and then lock the cable to the hitch. I think there is a lockable hitch pin but I have never purchased one of those.

No, it does not. I use a MasterLock cable to lock the bike to the car and a hitch lock to lock the rack to the car. Both can be bought on Amazon.

No. there is a button that you can hold and open it all the way. or you can push it a little and then the locking pin will fall into the next hole. I like how it's designed, I actually bought a second one from my brother.

Came with a standard hitch pin. For security though, you are better off getting a lockable pin.
